Agora Club
How about an educational
experience in which YOU, the
students, choose the subject
mattery there are no exams or
assignments! you have comfor
table chairs to sit in, you can
i talk or listen as much as you
like, and you get free dough
nuts, coffee and coke? Sound
too good to be true? Well,
folks, it's right here at High
acres. It's called the Agora
Club and it's open to anyone on
or off campus. Organized in
January, Agora has met five
times and will be back next
term. Topics dealt with were
Democracy, Amnesty for Vietnam
War Resistors, Marijuana, A
bortion and Euthanasia, and
Parapsychology. A hard core
of six or seven students braved
even the worst fog and midterm
exam schedule to attend most
of the meetings, while a high
of twenty-five showed up for
Marijuana.
During discussions of top
ics which divide along conser
vative point of view was
conspicuous by its absence.
This has led to the suspicion
that, here, at least, "conser
vative” equals "know-nOthing.?
We hope that students who i
dentify more with Gerald Ford
than George McGovern will come
to Agora next term and support
their convictions.
Signs giving the date,
time, place, and subject of
each Agora meeting are placed
on Dorm, Commons, and Class
